WANTED WTB Barnard P action

[abishai]

I am not sure if I should post this in the ELR section ( it's kind of a long shot)
I am looking for a Barnard P action in either 308 or 223 bolt face for a somewhat
reasonable(ish) price from a member with decent trade history.
Thank you

Not to throw cold water on your search but,

Finding replacement parts is virtually impossible. One over-pressure load is all that is needed to lose the extractor. Then it is game over until you get lucky enough to find a replacement or a replacement bolt. There are lots of Remmy clones for which replacement parts are readily available.

True on hard to get parts, but they can be found. False on " one over pressure shot"
I'm running a 338Imp on a PL. I'm guessing it's a tad over pressure. 300 grain OTM @ 3150. Never had an issue. I believe Warner built some pretty stout wildcats using the PL because of their strength. Not sure what he's using now. I was able to source a lifetime supply of Extractors, firing pins and springs for mine should the need arise. They can be found if you search.. But if your not building a man cannon, there are probably better alternatives.

I will likely be selling mine with 223 bolt in the coming months. Spinning up a couple barrels for a different action. As soon as I have them in service I’m going to let the Barnard go.
